Has anyone tried installing 3rd row seats for Gas model TRD sports/off-road 4runner?
I've been looking for 3rd row seat parts but no luck so far :/

My opinion: Those third row seats should not be called seats. Feel free to disagree.

I think the better route would be to get an SR5 and upgrade the car.
I have an SR5 with a third row, and the kids love sitting back there. I use it once a week or so. I also prefer the flatter floor.

Sorry this doesn't directly address your question. But beware.
I have 3rd row because that is the only way I could get a unit a few months ago. I figured to just ignore it.
What I didn't know is in order to cram in a 3rd row they short sheeted the second row leg room by 5 or 6 inches.
It is terrible back there. I cannot imagine sitting in the second row for more than an hour if that.
Another potential, and more serious outcome, would be a rear end collision with the 3rd row occupied.
If you haven't checked one out you should
before getting the torch out.
In fact I have been trying to find a way to toss mine in the dumpster and move the 2nd row back.
I don't think that is going to happen though.
Good luck.

Yes. In addition the second row is not adjustable forward or back. Fixed in place.
With me at an average 5-10 the drivers seat back is 7 inches from the second row seat- not much leg room.
I believe the two row configuration gives you an additional 5 to 6 inches.
Crappy unless you know that going in and the fam is young.
